I don't understand why everyone is so big on switching away from Google these days. Some of my coworkers have been doing this as well.
Instead of giving away your personal information to one place, why not give it away to 10 or 20 places?
I think it makes sense to use the best tool for the job. At least when it comes to email, maps, and search I would argue that Gmail, Google Maps, and Google are the best services by a long shot.
Not to knock Duck Duck Go, but it would drive me crazy to have to do multiple searches or go through more results just to find something I could find on Google in the first half of the first page of results.
Sure I would get used to it eventually, but it's not worth losing my own time/productivity over.
- taligent 14y agoThe big problem for me with Google services is the unnecessary and unwanted integration with Google+. I couldn't sign up for a YouTube account without creating a Google+ account with my full name. Why should all the videos I watch be made public ? Likewise I can't search today without being constantly asked to sign in. I want the old Google back.
